Island Pork Loin

This is fantastic!! I made it once from a recipe off of an exercise video and since have made it many more times.
Ingredients:
pork tenderloin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cinnamon
olive oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tblsp garlic finely chopped
1/2 tblsp tabasco sauce

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Stir together salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder and cinnamon. Coat the pork with the spice rub.
3. Heat a skillet over med/high heat and add olive oil to the bottom. Brown the pork loin on all sides, about 4 minutes.
4. Stir together the brown sugar, garlic and tabasco sauce. Pat onto the pork loin place on a roasting pan or cookie sheet.
5. Cook in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the pork loin is done.

I like to serve this with wild rice and fresh cut pineapple. It has a little bit of heat. Eat and enjoy.

I have a whole bunch of pork loins in the freezer and this sounds delish. Is it very cinamon-y?
